           Reviews:

           Chicago Sun Times:
                             “The Artist who has taken the historical step by abstracting                  
                             from reality is a Korean, called Aesop”.

           Chicago Tribune:
                             “They are a strange blend of naive illusionism and formal         
                             abstraction”.
